| ATAXX Cabinet - Is it worth the price? |
| (1/2) > >> |
| Zeno:
I have a chance to pick up a working Ataxx cabinet for $75. I kind of like the game, but I'm more interested in the parts. Some quick questions for the ALL MIGHTY BOARD... 1. Do you think I can use this 19" monitor in my Ms. Pac restoration project? Excuse my ignorance if this is a simple question, but I'm pretty dumb when it comes to monitors. 2. Any value in the two trackballs? 3. Any value in the gutted cab? I think it could make for a mean MAME machine if done right. Your thoughts are appreciated. Zeno |

That thing looks great. Would take it for 75 if I was there. By the way, you wouldn't be in Houston would you? |
| Zeno:
Sorry Green, not in Houston. I think it looks great too. Normally, I would snatch this up, but my better half may divorce me if I come home with another machine before I fix up/sell the others. Right now I have 5 cabinets. Only 2 are working. Adding a 6th cab may push my otherwise saintly wife over the edge. I don't want to mistake her kindness for her weakness when it comes to my arcade hobby. Man... I know she wishes I was into stamps instead. Then again... my working cab to total cab ratio is 2:5 (40%). If I got this, it would bring the ratio to 3:6 (50%). That would be some real progress! |

This is a fairly uncommon game. Sure you'd want to part it out? |

I know it's uncommon, but do you think that makes it valuable? I figure supply and demand only works when there is some demand. Is this guy crazy for selling it at $75? Am I crazy for not snatching it up? |
